Carbon offsetting `can be done in the garden`
Carbon offsetting actions which can be undertaken in the garden have been suggested by a commentator.Writing for the Nashua Telegraph, Kristin Arrigo said emissions can be neutralised using pyrolysis.This is a way of converting rubbish into biochar - a substance similar to charcoal whose carbon can enrich soil, she wrote.The process is also known as terra preta and originated among Amazonian tribes people, who used it to make the ground more fertile.It is considered a carbon neutral process as some gas is released into the atmosphere when the coal is produced in a kiln or barrel.`This is something not limited to the Amazon or companies searching for an offset, but you can do at home, as well, for your backyard garden,` Ms Arrigo asserted.Planting trees in is also suggested; an activity that can undertaken with or without the aid of a specialist.Last year, Stirling in Scotland announced it was aiming to become the UK`s first carbon neutral city after receiving a GBP1.25 million Lottery fund grant.
